Jamie and Victoria meanwhile discover the true culprits –the previously peaceful Yeti that live in seclusion on the mountainside have apparently turned violent.The Doctor must convince the monks that not only is he not their enemy, but the real foe - and the power controlling the Yeti - is living amongst them. Most of the original 1967 master recordings of the six-part adventure 'The Abominable Snowmen' were lost soon after the programme's original transmission. However, audio-only recordings of all the episodes have survived and have been used here to create six brand new fully animated presentations of this lost classic, as well as the one surviving segment, Episode Two.Product FeaturesEpisodes 1-6 (Animated Black & White)Episodes 1-6 (Animated Colour)Restored Surviving Original Episode 2Photographic Reconstructions of Episodes 1, 3, 4, 5 & 6Making-of DocumentaryAudio Commentaries8mm Home Movie FootageArchive interview with writer Mervyn HaismanPhoto GalleryTeaser TrailerPDF ROM Content
